Italy 123-all out (18 ovs) vs WI 165-6 | SCORECARD

Matthew Forde is back into the attack. He continues his wicket ways as Gian Meade hits the full wide delivery straight to Shamar Joseph at point covers to be dismissed for four. This is Joseph's fourth catch of the innings.

Forde finishes with excellent figures of 3/19 from his four overs.

Shamar Joseph back into the attack with Italy inching towards defeat.

Thomas Draca does well to back away and guide the short ball from Joseph over short thirdman for a four.

However, Draca perishes next ball as he guides a high full toss into the hands of Roston Chase at point.

The umpires want to check the height of the full toss while Draca has nearly walked back to the dressing room, as he stands on the edge of the boundary.

It is ruled as a fair delivery as the dismissal stands with Draca going back for five.

Joseph ends the match as he gets the wicket of lastman Ali Hasan, who makes room and attempts a big swing but is caught behind for a duck.

Joseph finishes with 4/30 in four overs, along with taking four catches.

Italy are bowled out for 123 in 18 overs as West Indies register an emphatic 42-run victory to continue their winning run in the World Cup.
